The Hard Rock Hotel will be rockin’ new space this winter — almost 18,000 square feet to be exact. The property’s expanded meeting and convention space is sure to attract business travelers worldwide. And since this is at Hard Rock, consider it the cool kid when it comes to conventions.

“The expansion of Hard Rock Hotel’s meetings and convention space is a demonstration of how we stay in the forefront of the Las Vegas market,” said Drew Varga, vice president of operations / group sales at Hard Rock Hotel. “In town, you won’t find another hotel with the high-energy and entertaining environment that we can offer to groups.”

In this week’s “topping off” ceremony, the beam was placed into its final position atop the steel structural element. Once the convention space is complete, business travelers will have Wi-Fi access, as well as a program to create custom sound, light and moods for stand-out events.

In addition to the nearly 18,000-square-feet expansion, this Vegas hotel is also adding an extra 5,000 square feet of back-of-house storage and office space; relocation of the fully functional business center; and new exteior signage along Paradise Road. When everything’s done, the hotel will have almost 110,000 square feet of meetings and convention space.
